Two arrested at Tel Aviv anti-government protest for blocking road; parallel protest in Jerusalem disperses

Police arrest at least two protesters at a massive rally in Tel Aviv that calls for the government to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza since October 7. Protesters briefly block the entrance to the Ayalon Highway, though it has apparently been cleared since. At a parallel demonstration in Jerusalem, dozens of pro-hostage-deal demonstrators march through the streets of Jerusalem, beating drums and chanting for the hostages' release. Protesters briefly block King George St. but are forcefully shoved to the sidewalk by police. The protest disperses. According to protest organizers, hundreds of thousands of Israelis are attending rallies tonight around the country, marking the 11-month anniversary of Hamas's devastating October 7 massacre.
